  Sure, just so I could go explore the universe ... there's only so much on earth to see and do.

  Now if I had to stay in one place and listen to one group of men yap forever, then No, I'd rather stick a gun in my mouth and blow my brains out.

  "Unconditional love"...is there such a thing?...i am not sure........

  by oompa in

  that phrase is on this site a lot....and although i have been judged a bit by my old friends......i also do not think i can have friends without conditions......like if i had a friend.....and found out he was beating or abusing his wife.....esp if she was also a friend....that would be a "condition" where he would no longer be my friend....so what does it mean...what about you?....oompa.

  Ok have you ever been asked this question in regards to Isaiah 43:10 ?

  by StoneWall in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how could god have always existed since it plainly says near the end of that verse before me there was no god formed?.

  here is the quote from the nwt and i also looked it up on numerous other translations and they all used the word before.. .

  isaiah 43:10. you are my witnesses, is the utterance of jehovah, even my servant whom i have chosen, in order that you may.

  From the AB (or Setuigent), the verse reads:

  "Be My witnesses, and I too am a witness, says the Lord God, and My servant whom I have chosen; that you may know, and believe, and understand that I am He; before Me there was no other God, and after Me there shall be none."

  The word "formed" is not inserted.

  Book of Revelation--UNAUTHENTIC

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower

  i ran across a blurb in wiki that stated that the book of revelation was long regarded as unauthentic and was not accepted until 1200 a.d.. has anyone explored this?.

  your thoughts, please..

  John I believe is the John related to Jesus (ie. Jesus and James literal brother). Since we are speaking about Jews and Jewish society, we should realize that since forever the sons were sent to school to learn to read and write. They are big on basic education.

  They may have been fisherman, carpenters, and what not but they were not illiterate.

  Are they really waiting for us to die?

  this is something i've thought about over and over in my mind.

  anyone df or da are viewed by active jws as "dead when armageddon comes".

  are they waiting for us to die?.

  Sadly, they are waiting for everyone to die. It was some sort of sick joke my fellow pioneers (at the time) would laugh about constantly.

  Kinda like modern day Jonah's swalled by the fish for their obstinance. They don't want world-wide repentance to God; they want death.

  They don't have the mind of Christ or God for that matter. They wish everyone to die and no one to be saved (except themselves).

  I can imagine his concern at being yelled at by vampire looking vitamin deficient people. Their appearance is enough to scare anyone.

  He should put garlic on his door posts.

  yeah, that was before my time.

  but i'm interested to hear from those who were around back in the day when they did this.

  what were the questions like?

  Yeah, that all stopped sometime in the early 80's.

  Now that I am aware of the situation, I think most things stopped after the Franz "incident".

  What Was YOUR Worst Quality As A JW?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me it had to be that i was trained to be judgmental.

  i'm naturally a person who doesn't believe everything someone says---just because they say it's true.

  still, a "good elder" is supposed to be watchful of what might "contaminate" the congregation.. so, it's time to bare your soul.

  I refused to make fun of other people. General non-conformist type A.

  I had my own thoughts which didn't coincide with "group think"; that seemed to piss people off.

  I also like to ask questions 'cause I thought I was supposed to be learning stuff ... My bad.
